Kambah security tip
Updating a 1970s or 1980s home
Many Kambah homes are now 40 to 50 years old, with original locks, window latches and sliding doors. Replacing worn deadlocks, adding keyed window locks and a bar or lock on sliding doors, and a sensor light over the side path are low-cost first steps. Homes backing onto reserves should keep back gates locked.
